Dr. King Commemoration at UAB, 1978

February 2018 Image of the Month

In a ceremony in the auditorium of the Engineering Building [Cudworth Hall], UAB commemorated the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The event was held during the ten-year anniversary of King’s assassination. The keynote speaker, Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker (seated third from left), was the chief-of-staff for Dr. King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Funding for the event was provided by the UAB student government and graduate student associations.

UAB celebrated Black History Week as early as 1975 with a series of lectures, dances, and art shows. Following national trends, UAB changed to a month-long celebration in 1977.
